H/T to Greg over at Espresso Pundit for finding this video. As Greg mentions, this is a great example of new media done quickly at very low cost. Expect more of these to make the rounds. In the meantime, I want to make sure it gets some online time with our readers.

It’s a lot of bragadoccio until CONSERVATIVES show up to the polls in droves and vote FOR conservatives and agaist moderates and liberals. Historically, liberals get into office and create all kinds of new programs. When Republicans take over, best they seem to be able to do is try to hold the line and rarely, if ever, roll back what the libs have done. We need politicians who will ignore Leftists angry at their own impotence who will fight tooth-and-nail to UNDO what the Libs have created. Until ELECTED Republicans do this, commercials like this are a lot of hot air.
Also, the current crop of worthless elected Republicans (at least at the federal level and the woman who stumbled into the Gov’s chair) have done LITTLE to draw bright line distinctions between themselves and liberals. Heck, most of the usual suspects are still in power! There are NO notable conservatives in leadership EXCEPT Mike Pence. Until this changes, expect Republican gains to be lackluster.

I found this alternate URL by searching for “America Rising An Open Letter to Democrat Politicians”

Thanks Thane for getting an updated link: The latest accountholder of this video posted the following message on their info associated with the video:
I had stopped the comments on this video for many reasons, for example: racist rants, death threats, calling out for murder, accusing me of things that are just not true (as if you liberals somehow have ESP and know what I am all about.) Get over yourselves! Thanks to all the people who do get it, you are out there, keep spreading accurate information as most of us can agree we are not being shown the truth.
1. I did not create this video, buckrush wanted everyone to spread this video, buckrush’s account has been closed since.
2. Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of legislating poor policies that negatively affect us for generations to come. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and the Post Office are not doing well, they are on the verge of bankruptcy.
3. Anyone who is in the health care field understands why this reform is not going to do anything but grow the government and raise the cost of health care. Anyone who is not, thinks they know best.
4. Big government is not the solution as it is unsustainable. Government needs to be run like a business not a service, they need a reduction in force. Any company designed like our federal government would be long gone by now unless, of course, they had unlimited access to the taxpayer’s wallet.
5. Contrary to all who think that being “unenrolled” somehow prevents me from voting any way I would like, again, in my state I can.
6. Most of the absolute anger, death threats and name calling has come from the left, real grown up guys.
7. This experience has woken me up to the sad fact of how Obama got in office, you believe what you want and reject anything that paints your “man” in a negative light. As if “well, where were you when Bush was in office?” is a valid argument. Wake up!
8. Many of the Tea party goers I met were unhappy with the over-reaching hand of the government, regardless of political affiliation.
9. If you voted for Hope and/or Change, you should just stick to American Idol. There is a reason they call it “Chicago Politics”
10. They want us to be divided, as long as we are they will remain in power to do as they wish with our lives, our money and our freedom.
11. The fact that some members of Congress are breaking laws that would end us up in prison, should have you motivated to demand they step down, but you probably don’t even know who Charlie Rangell is.
Thanks to ElitestPirate, comments for this video are back on.

This is an awesome video! Well done and well said. Let’s hope we can make some change this year with the upcoming elections.
